Blue is the new green! Data is key to achieving sustainability goals and a greener planet, but what about a bluer planet? Our guest, Heidi Karlsson, Director of Open Footprint Forum at The Open Group, joins us to ‘dive deep’ into this topic. As a facilitator in creating open data standards for global carbon emission exchange, Heidi shares insights on how to bring hundreds of diverse members together to collaborate on impactful data models and standards. But that’s just the beginning.
As a maritime environmentalist, Heidi is also a passionate advocate for the Blue Economy — the sustainable use of ocean resources to support economies, livelihoods, and ocean ecosystem health. Before you know it, our hosts Robert Engels, Weiwei Feng and Ron Tolido are surfing with Heidi on concepts such as sea agriculture, marine habitat mapping, and environmental conflict resolution. Of course, data and AI (‘deep sea learning,’ anyone?) are at the heart of making it all happen.
And if that’s not enough, get ready for a mini lecture on musical scales and some surprising vintage Blues song recommendations. Tune in and take the plunge!
